Classic Z factor contributions

  • X1 Working capital / assets

    Short-term liquidity versus the size of the balance sheet.

    0.36
    1.2 × = 0.43
  • X2 Retained earnings / assets

    Cushion from years of profits. Share buybacks can push this negative at otherwise healthy firms.

    −0.15
    1.4 × = −0.21
  • X3 EBIT / assets

    Operating return on assets. Highest weight in the original model.

    3.3 × = −0.17
  • X4 Book equity / liabilities

    Book equity versus the liability stack. Mega-caps often look greyer here than they would if X4 used market cap.

    0.6 × = 1.65
  • X5 Sales / assets

    Asset turnover — how much revenue the asset base supports.

Five-year path

Need two annual 10-Ks to draw a path. The desk will pull this issuer’s filings rather than invent a series.

Overview

rule-v1

AXT INC is on classic Z at 1.71 (distress) for FY2025, from an SEC 10-K. Book equity / liabilities is the line that sets the print. This is the first live year on the desk. No market tape loaded. Classic Z was fit on manufacturers; buybacks can send retained earnings negative at otherwise healthy issuers, and X4 is book equity, not market cap.

Book screen Distress; market PD —. Tape not priced — not a single default call.

Market DD · naive Merton

No market tape yet.

Pull a year of closes (Yahoo, Nasdaq if Yahoo is limited) and size equity from Nasdaq cap or EDGAR shares. Distance-to-default and 1-year PD stay blank until then.
